#SHOWBIZ: Cancer-stricken Peter Pang still works to recoup medical expenses
HONG KONG: Despite being diagnosed with stage three rectal cancer in July 2023, Hong Kong singer-actor Peter Pang continues to work tirelessly to recoup the costs of his medical treatment. In a recent update on Xiaohongshu (Red Note), Pang, 54, revealed that he had secured a singing gig at a nightclub in mainland China. He also shared a video from the performance, showing fans enthusiastically singing along as he belted out the 1993 classic 'Sky' – originally sung by Cantopop group Beyond. "I'm grateful that I can still use this body to perform for everyone. I'll keep going," he captioned his post. According to Hong Kong's Headline Daily, Pang recently admitted to struggling financially. The publication reported that after being out of work for a year to focus on his treatment, Pang has exhausted the HK$500,000 (RM270,751) he borrowed to cover both medical and living expenses. With a wife and three children to support, the former TVB star is eager to return to work to begin repaying his debts. "No work means no income. My wife is working, but it's hard for her to shoulder everything alone. The money we borrowed is nearly gone. If this keeps up, we won't make it," he said. Still, the Sinister Beings (2021) actor remains hopeful.
